Centros 1978

Brian Halsey’s 'Centros' appears to have been made with cool precision, each shape carefully considered. I can imagine the artist, maybe listening to some chill jazz, meticulously applying each layer of blue, building up this futuristic, tessellated sphere. It reminds me of those moments when you're trying to map out an idea in your head, turning it over and over, trying to get it just right. The way Halsey uses slightly different shades, it almost feels like he's playing with light, creating depth and dimension on a flat surface. Look at how the subtle variations in tone make each cube pop, giving the whole piece a kind of pulsating energy. It's not just about the geometry, though. There's something else going on here. Maybe it’s a conversation with artists like Sol LeWitt, but with a softer, more organic feel. In the end, painting is always like that, it's never really about a fixed point, but rather a point of orientation, which emerges from continuous shifts in perspective.
